Gu Ci raised his eyebrows, but did not insist on having the candies. However, he took note of the person who had just given the candies to Chen Yao.
Seeing that there was nothing to do at the moment, Chen Yao opened her phone and took a look at the group message, confirming the specific time for the dinner together in the evening. She calculated that there were still four or five hours left, which was enough for her to go back and catch up on some sleep.
So he said directly to Gu Ci: "I'm going back to my place first, you should go back to your place and rest early, goodbye."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left.
But before he took a few steps, Gu Ci suddenly grabbed his arm.
His deep voice carried into her ears along the breeze: "Take me, with you."
Chen Yao was a little confused.
Why take him along?
"Gu Ci, I remember that your inspection team's accommodation is not in the same building as our project team's."
Gu Ci released her arm, his tone intriguing: "Theirs are gone, but mine is here."
Chen Yao: ???
At this point, Gu Ci couldn't help but admire Special Assistant Zhou's meticulousness. He had already arranged everything silently and then reported to him.
It was also on the plane that he learned that Special Assistant Zhou had already had the two empty rooms next to Chen Yao's renovated in advance. After connecting them, they were tidied and rearranged, which expanded the space and made it more comfortable for him to live in.
The most important thing is that this way he can be closer to Chen Yao.
"Let's go, together." Gu Ci gestured for her to take him with her.
"Do you really live in our building?" Chen Yao confirmed with him.
Gu Ci maintained a frank attitude, as if he had no purpose at all, and said lightly: "Well, it was arranged by Special Assistant Zhou."
Chen Yao rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, let's go together."
After saying that, he led the way.
No conversation along the way.
The atmosphere between the two of them now is like that of ordinary friends. No one is embarrassed, and no one takes the initiative to bring up any topics that cross the line.
After they returned to the floor where they lived, Gu Ci naturally stopped in front of the door next to Shen Yao and opened it.
Chen Yao widened her eyes slightly. Oh my god, it’s next door.
Then he politely asked her, “Doctor Shen, would you like to come in and sit down?”
Chen Yao quickly shook her head and said, "No, I'll go back first, you have a good rest."
As he spoke, he opened the door of his house swiftly, walked in and closed the door in one go.
Gu Ci only had time to see her quickly go in and close the door, and then he was stunned where he was.
He also wanted her to come in and sit down, and give her the gift he brought specially.
Forget it, let’s do it next time. Don’t be too hasty.
…
In the evening, the lively dinner party began.
Since there is no work tomorrow, everyone seems to be more relaxed.
Special Assistant Zhou and the project team leader also specially prepared a lot of local fruit wine with a unique flavor, which was placed in several circles.
Zhao Yu, the project area manager, took the initiative to introduce these fruit wines to Gu Ci and said, "Mr. Gu, the wines here really taste very different, and the fruity aroma is also very unique. You can try it later."
Gu Ci responded politely: "Well, I'll try."
Zhao Yu quickly poured him half a cup and said with a smile, "This has a low alcohol content, so you can drink it without worry. It's okay to drink too much, you won't get drunk."
Special Assistant Zhou, who was standing by, suddenly thought of something and said with a smile, "Our young Mr. Gu's alcohol tolerance is very poor. If he drinks a little too much, he will get dizzy."
Gu Ci raised his eyes and looked at Special Assistant Zhou. He didn't quite understand why he said that. His alcohol tolerance was not such that he would get dizzy after drinking just a few fruit wines.
But Special Assistant Zhou only smiled and gave him a suggestive look, then said to Zhao Yu beside him: "If our young Boss Gu can't hold his liquor, please arrange for a colleague to take our young Boss Gu back."
Zhao Yu smiled and assured, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
Special Assistant Zhou: ...
He smiled and said, “You don’t have to make a special trip. I think, since Mr. Gu happens to live on the same floor as Dr. Shen, why not let Dr. Shen help out on the way?”
Upon hearing this, Gu Ci's eyebrows twitched. Should we increase Assistant Zhou's bonus this month?
Zhao Yu refused: "No, no, no, she is just a little girl..." How could she help young President Gu?
Before he could finish his words, Gu Ci raised his glass and saluted in the direction of Shen Yao from a distance, saying, "Then I'll trouble you, Doctor Shen."
Zhao Yu: ...
Special Assistant Zhou smiled but said nothing.
Chen Yao raised an eyebrow and said, "Okay, no problem."
She wanted to see what tricks Gu Ci was trying to play.
......
During the meal, Special Assistant Zhou sat on Gu Ci's left, Zhao Yu sat on his right, and Chen Yao sat diagonally opposite him to the right, which was directly opposite Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu is a very active person at dinner parties. He takes good care of both his leaders and colleagues.
At this moment, he was pouring fruit wine for Gu Ci very politely, as if he would accompany him to drink until he was satisfied.
After clinking glasses with Gu Ci, he thoughtfully handed out fruit wine and drinks to other male and female colleagues. As for Shen Yao, who was sitting directly opposite him, he directly filled her glass with a full drink and said with great concern: "I remember that Doctor Shen, you don't like drinking."
Gu Ci on the side: ...
He glanced at the attentive Zhao Yu with an unclear expression, then looked at Chen Yao who was politely smiling and thanking him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but droop.
